What Level of Equipment Do I need for my ski holiday in Val d’Isère?

In Val d’Isère, you’ll find a wide choice of ski and snowboard equipment available to hire through Erna Low’s partner shops, ranging from beginner-friendly sets to advanced and premium models.

Equipment is grouped into clear categories - Evolution, Performance/Sensation, and Excellence - so you can easily choose the kit that matches your level.

  • Evolution equipment is ideal for beginners and early intermediates. These skis are softer and easier to manoeuvre, helping new skiers feel more comfortable while building confidence on gentle slopes.
  • Performance/Sensation equipment is designed for stronger intermediates and advanced skiers. This gear offers greater stability, precision, and control, especially at higher speeds and on steeper terrain, making it a natural upgrade when you’re ready to move on from entry-level kit.
  • Excellence equipment is the premium range, featuring the latest high-performance skis and snowboards. Perfect for advanced skiers, these models deliver more power, precision, and adaptability across conditions.
Pre-booking premium or high-performance gear ensures the best choice is reserved for you, particularly during busy weeks, so your equipment is ready as soon as you arrive.
